Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only operate
if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of
fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient
temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The
heater will not operate if the battery is low.
Note: The heating depends on the outside
air temperature.
Note: When the parking heater is activated,
exhaust fumes may come from under the
sides of the vehicle. This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is
dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates independently
of the vehicle heater by heating the
engine ’s coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while
the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle
heater warm up the interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater provides
the following benefits: •
It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating temperature
sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has performed
one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only be
carried out if you have started the
vehicle ’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
Programming the parking heater
Note: The programmed time is the time at
which you wish the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.
Note: You must programme the times at
least 70 minutes in advance of the time you
wish to set.
Note: You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 122).
To programme the heating times:
1. Use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to enter the main menu. See
Information Displays (page 83).
2. Select the park heater option.

Leave the engine running while the kit
is in use, but not if the vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for
example, inside a building). In these
circumstances, switch the compressor
on with the engine turned off.
• Replace the sealant bottle with a new
one before the expiry date (see top of
bottle) is reached.
• Inform all other users of the vehicle
that the tyre has been temporarily
sealed with the tyre repair kit and make
them aware of the special driving
conditions to be observed.
Inflating the tyre WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tyre prior
to inflation. If there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not stand directly beside the tyre
while the compressor is pumping.
Watch the sidewall of the tyre. If any
cracks, bumps or similar damage
appear, turn off the compressor and
let the air out by means of the pressure
relief valve B. Do not continue driving with
this tyre. The sealant contains natural rubber
latex. Avoid contact with skin and
clothing. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with plenty of
water and contact your doctor. If the tyre inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within seven
minutes, the tyre may have suffered
excessive damage, making a temporary
repair impossible. In this case, do not
continue driving with this tyre. CAUTION
Screwing the bottle onto the bottle
holder will pierce the seal of the
bottle. Do not unscrew the bottle from
the holder as the sealant will escape. Protective cap
